Ingredients

12 oz (375 g) boneless skinless chicken breasts

1 tsp (5 mL) grated lemon rind

2 tbsp (25 mL) lemon juice

1 tbsp (15 mL) extra-virgin olive oil

1 tsp (5 mL) dried oregano

1/4 tsp (1 mL) each salt and pepper

Half Red onion, cut into 1-inch (2.5 cm) wedges

Half Cucumber

1/4 cup (50 mL) prepared tzatziki sauce

4 Whole wheat pocketless pitas

1 Tomato, cut into chunks

1 cup (250 mL) shredded romaine lettuce

Preparation

Cut chicken into 1-inch (2.5 cm) cubes. In large bowl, toss together chicken, lemon rind and juice, oil, oregano, salt and pepper; let stand for 10 minutes to marinate.

Alternately thread chicken and onion onto 4 metal skewers. Broil on foil-lined rimmed baking sheet, turning once, until chicken is no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, cut cucumber in half lengthwise; thinly slice crosswise to make 1 cup (250 mL).

Spread tzatziki over half of each pita. Push chicken and onion off skewers onto pitas. Top with tomato, cucumber and lettuce; fold over.
